Help! Nottingham uni or Cardiff Uni

It's nearing study leave and I think it's a good time to choose my insurance choice: however, I'm stuck between Cardiff and Nottingham for Architectural Engineering.

- I really enjoy Cardiff's location
- Nottingham is higher-rated

All I need is your guys' opinions, thank you for your help :smile:

There is another post on Nottingham Uni forum too

Hi there! Congrats on your offers!

I think when it comes to uni it's weighing up a lot of pros and cons. My best advice to anyone is to not put too much weight on league table rankings, as they include things that might not be relevant to you as a student, such as research quality or entry standards. There are other things to consider - as you mentioned the location, student life, the course itself (if you like the modules etc), affordability, accommodation, career services etc. I think its great that you're asking Nottingham this question as well!

Part of this is also what matters most to you - and what you want out of a university. If you had any questions about any aspect of Cardiff Uni, I'm happy to answer them :smile:
